Pool Workouts: A Better Way to a Healthier You

For
many people, owning a swimming pool in Perth is directly related to
having fun and beating the heat—and there is nothing wrong with
that notion. What you should remember, however, is that your pool can
also serve as a fantastic way to get much-needed exercise.

Working
out in your pool is great for burning calories as you require more
effort to move around due to water resistance. At the same time, the
water significantly reduces the strain your put your muscles through.
As a result, pool workouts offer an effective way to achieve a more
intense workout with a very low risk of injury.

Of
course, pool workouts require a little bit of preparation if you want
to make the most out of it. With that in mind, be sure to follow
these quick tips:

Stay
in Shallow Areas

Jogging
can be awfully tough to do if your feet don’t have solid contact
with the ground. When training in your pool, stay in an area where
the water is only waist-deep. This helps your feet get a good push
off the ground, as well as help you maintain your balance better.

Use
Aqua Shoes

As
you’ve probably anticipated, exercising in a pool can be tricky due
to slippery floors. Luckily, you can easily improve your traction by
slipping on a pair of water shoes
